NBC5 has just learned the 18 month old girl died today. My sincerest sympathies go out to the family.
Let me take a moment to also apologize to anyone offended by my perceived insincerity in my post below. I was scolded by Grant’s Rant readers, my wife, and the moms of the NBC5 news room. All of whom pointed out, I do not have kids and failed to realize how easy it is for them to scurry away.
I want everyone to know, I left my live shot last night truly depressed about what had happened and my only intention in writing the post below was to try to help ensure it doesn’t happen again.
I do feel for the family and I hope and pray they can get through this tragedy somehow. As a good friend of mine who lost her two daughters once said, “Nothing prepares a parent to bury a child.” I was impressed with the outpouring of support the family had from their neighbors. I am sure the mother and father are in good hands.
